I voted for Tsongas as well. Many, many, many Mass. Republicans did so in order to sink Clinton. It was the 1st operation khaos. This charge is beyond lame. Better get in line w/Romney or we are looking @ 4 more years of obummer % co.
I also voted for Tsongas as a registered Democrat. But I was so repulsed by the Clinton’s I voted for Bush and re registered as a Republican.
It can happen.
Let’s be a LITTLE more accurate.
Romney = Real Democrat.
Quite frankly, I don’t care so much about this issue as I do about policy stance after policy stance that is Liberal as Hell (except of course when he wants to convince us he’s really a Conservative). Ugh.
The question I would like to see asked of Romney is - did he vote for Reagan in 1980 and 1984 and Bush in 1988? I’ll bet ten bucks if he is asked those questions directly, he will equivocate.
I flipped from R to D a couple years ago to vote in the Democrat primary. I had good reasons, too. But, that probably wouldn't matter to the GOParty Faithful.
Regardless, at the next convenient opportunity, I flopped back to R.
There are more than enough valid reasons to cast doubt Willard's bogus claims of conservatism. This hardly qualifies.
Let’s just all stay home like in 2006 and let Obama have it.
We probably need four more years of him anyway just to make sure we completely destroy the country. Better relect Obama then God forbid, we elect a “Rino”.
In a purely technical sense. Registered independents (unenrolled) in Massachusetts can vote in the Democrat or Republican primary (but not both). Until 2004 they were temporarily considered members of that party for the purposes of the primary, then went back to being independents. Nowadays unenrolled voters can take either ballot but don't become a member of either party, even formally.
There used to be a card you fill out to restore you to unenrolled status. If Romney filled out the card, he was a Democrat for about as long as it took his ballot to be filled out and counted or for a formal period a little longer than that. This is one of those fake charges that turns up in dumb ads and makes people want to bang their heads against the wall.
I'll not vote for Mitt Romney EVER! Nor will I vote in the general election for anyone who endorses Romney prior to him securing the nomination.
Romney isn’t even a RINO...he’s a Bloomberg Republican.
I just hope none of the conservatives who decided to participate in Operation Chaos in 2008 ever run for office, or I guess they’ll be in trouble over this registration problem.
Isn’t the issue with Romney that he was pushing democrat’s ideas in 1994, not that he happened to be registered as a democrat in 1992?
Oromney knows there isn’t a hair’s width difference between being a liberal Democrat and a progressive Republican, apart from the fact that progressive Republicans have a deeper appreciation for big government.
You’re grasping at straws to hold this against Romney. That was like 20 years ago, when he was a bright young age of 40!!!!
